The goal of this project is to understand the language of birds -- of course not ALL species of birds, but at least a few, starting with those that have languages that seem complex, and yet manageable.While this has long been a desire, up to now it has not been possible, but with modern advances in computing, in linguistic analysis, and a new-found appreciation of how sophisticated other creatures can be, the grammar (and perhaps meaning) of bird song seems attainable.
